Seeing a Chiropractor for Sore and Tender Muscles

You are feeling pain in your back. It’s obvious that something is wrong. But the question is whether or not a chiropractor can help you. To help answer that question, you’ll need to think a little bit about the way the human body works.

Your body is a finely tuned yet delicate machine. Because of the way it has been designed, when it breaks down, you receive warning signals in the form of pain. When you feel pain, you need to visit a qualified medical professional to diagnose your symptoms. Choosing to visit a chiropractor is a great place to start.

Why You Hurt

The pain that you’re experiencing, be it in the hard tissues, like your spine, or in your soft tissues, like your ligaments, can come from a wide array of causes. It might be because of an accident, an injury playing sports, or a repetitive injury at work. Damage to tissue can limit your range of motion. You may need a combination of chiropractic care and massage therapy to get you moving right again.

When Visiting a Chiropractor is a Good Idea

Chiropractic care is designed to address disorders that affect your musculoskeletal system as well as your nervous system. Massage therapy focuses on soft tissue, and chiropractic care focuses on hard tissue. This includes the tissue that is in your spine and joints.

Chiropractors are trained to provide therapeutic care and care that is designed to rehabilitate you. The treatment can help with things like joint pain, tendinitis, insomnia, ear infections, and tension.

Chiropractors are doctors who have the authorization to make medical diagnoses. They can ask for X-rays, and they can request blood work. An initial patient evaluation is needed when you consult with our chiropractor to determine the type of treatment you will get.

Chiropractic Care Versus Massage Therapy

It is important to remember that chiropractic care and massage therapy are two practices that oftentimes work hand-in-hand. Chiropractic care focuses on the misalignments in your musculoskeletal system. This care can provide you with immediate relief once your joints are in the right position, and your soft tissue has a better chance of healing quicker.

Restoring and maintaining your health is a challenge. Your body is a complicated machine, and it needs a variety of techniques in order to keep it functioning properly. Chiropractic care is a key part of restoring your body to optimal health and getting you functioning properly again.
